On February 21, 1931, Germany launched its first liquid-fueled rocket … sort of. The rocket only made it about ten feet off the ground. To be fair, the rocket itself was only two feet tall, so it did achieve an altitude of about five times its height.

Engineers were able to fully fuel NASA's Artemis II moon rocket without any signs of leaks like the ones that derailed an earlier dress rehearsal.

The NASA/SpaceX Crew-12 mission launched four astronauts on a journey to the International Space Station.

If successful, Space One will be first Japanese private launch company to reach orbit. The Kairos rocket will launch from Space Port Kii in Kushimoto, western Japan. Credit: Space.com | animation: Spa
